Through Mud and Blood - Infantry/Tank Operations In World War II
This book tells the story of those formations of the Royal Armoured Corps whose function throughout World War II was to support the hard fighting Infantry Divisions in both attack and defence. The story of the Tank Brigades in several campaigns covers many victories from the incredible success at Arras to the grinding attrition of Alamein, from the mountains of Italy and Tunisia, to the mud of the Reichswald, and a few defeats such as Halfaya Pass and Knightsbridge, from which the tank crews emerged with their honour enhanced. A fascinating look at the bravery of the tank crews, and their commanders, in the hell of war.
